Aerosmith, New Kids on the Block, and James Taylor and Carole King are among the stars who'll perform at a music-and-comedy fundraiser May 30 to benefit victims of the Boston Marathon bombings, according to Entertainment Weekly.

Jason Aldean, the J. Geils Band, Jimmy Buffett, Boston, and comedians Dane Cook and Steven Wright are also set to appear at the fundraiser, titled "Boston Strong: An Evening of Support and Celebration." The four-hour event will be held at Boston's TD Garden. There is no word yet on when or if it will be televised.

"From the promoters to the sound & lights, to the performers, and the Garden staff; everyone involved has responded from the heart in a spontaneous and simultaneous desire to be there, and to do what we can for the city we love. I am honored to be part of it, and . . . I can't wait," Taylor told the Boston Globe in an email.

Tickets, costing $35 to $285, go on sale at 10 a.m. today at Ticketmaster.com. There will be no fees or surcharges on tickets.

Net proceeds from the show will benefit The One Fund Boston. The fund so far has raised nearly $30 million for victims of the April 15 bombings, which killed three people and injured more than 260.
